Studio Member Showcase 2020
We turned over the keys to our Studio Members for the first ever HOT•BED Studio Member Showcase! Visitors were able to have the opportunity to view exciting new works being produced right here at 723 Chestnut Street. They joined us as we celebrated the artists and our larger HOT•BED community with a concert, film screening and art market.
Orlando Saverino-Loeb is a Philadelphia born artist. His work is influenced by surrealist imagery, the compositions in 19th century Romanticism paintings, and extended stays in Italy. He deconstructs the environments he’s experienced, and rebuilds them as reflections on humans and their activities. He uses characters, symbols, and visual metaphors to create a sense of familiarity that facilitates the creation of unique new ideas and insights into the minds of his viewers.
Emily Rothstein is a Philly-grown artist. Her current focus is on wearable soft sculptures and videography, but her work has also included make-up and aesthetic prosthesis. When she’s not fantasizing of a more mystical world she can generally be found playing with bugs, skateboarding and eating lychee.
Amanda Cappelli is a Philadelphia painter who works with both oil and acrylic. She creates large scale pieces with saturated color to express intense emotions and personal struggle. Amanda recently graduated from The University of the Arts in Philadelphia and is currently working in her studio to continue her work related to the expression of struggle and frustration.
